Angelina Jolie on Nigerian Girls' Kidnapping: 'Unthinkable Cruelty'

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie has called the mass kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls “an unthinkable cruelty” and offered her support for a Change.org petition calling for worldwide attention to the abductions.

Jolie was in Paris promoting her most recent film, “Maleficent,” when she voiced her outrage about the kidnappings.

President Obama said Tuesday that U.S. military and law enforcement officials will help with the effort.

“So what we've done is — we have offered, and it's been accepted — help from our military and our law enforcement officials,” Obama told NBC News. "We're going to do everything we can to provide assistance to them."
